Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are one of the most destructive pests affecting Alaska homes. They do not eat wood, but excavate it to build nests, creating extensive galleries that can weaken structural supports over time. In some cases, repairs become necessary if the colony is left untreated.

A single colony may include a primary nest and one or more satellite nests. Satellite nests often contain mature larvae and worker ants, and these are typically responsible for ongoing structural damage. In heated buildings, indoor nests can remain active through winter at a reduced level, allowing the infestation to continue growing.

Treatment Options

Our pest control products utilize an advanced "undetectable" technology inside your home to eliminate ants quickly and completely. Over-the-counter sprays and ant repellents can cause ants to separate from their main nest, making matters even worse as they start new colonies — this is called "budding."

That's why we use an advanced, undetectable treatment applied outside your home or business where ants live. Ants never know it is there, so they can't react to it or avoid it. Instead, they pick it up on their bodies and take it home with them, where they spread it to all the other ants in the colony, killing the whole nest — guaranteed.

Transferable Pesticides

We use insecticides that utilize a process where the product transfers from one individual to another, affecting the entire population of ants. Even if an ant never directly contacts the pesticide or the treated area, we can get them.

Baits

Our ant gel contains a unique active ingredient that is the only member of its class of chemistry, the oxadiazines. The EPA labels this new ant gel as a "reduced-risk pesticide." These products are used at very low levels, making them some of the most effective and safe choices in pesticides you can make.
